<\/a>SIDbox PCB (Click for 300dpi)<\/center><\/p>\n
Yep, there it is. The first draft of the PCB for the SIDbox thingy I want to make. I need to do a good bit of checking to be sure I’m happy with it, but if I am, I’ll likely be ordering 5 of them. Then the Mouser parts order will be placed… Then (hopefully) I’ll put it together and it’ll work. I hope.<\/p>\n
For now, though, I’m going home. On the way home I’ll stop to get something tasty (and fairly good-for-me) for dinner. Maybe tonight I’ll have a good beer, too. I’ve done enough electronics work for one evening.<\/p>\n
Oh, and there is a copy of the Boondock Saints waiting for me to watch. Yes, I’ve never seen it.<\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong> Whoops, I just realized something that’s wrong with this… My hope is to solder on just the socket and pin header, then program the chip using my PICkit2 programmer. Well, without a line running from JP1P2 to VDD<\/sub> on IC1 (the PIC) I won’t be able to do it. Must change that…<\/p>\n Also:<\/p>\n · Rename all parts appropriately.

\n· Clean up BOM with new part names.
\n· Move JP1P1 indicator arrow to other side to align with the PICkit2’s indicator.<\/strike> Done.
\n· Establish values for the resistors for the LEDs.
\n· Also, maybe fix how the LEDs are connected. Currently the polarity for PWR_LED is different than MIDI_IN_LED and MIDI_OUT_LED. Maybe fix this. Probably should if kits may be sold.<\/strike> Done.
\n· Connect JP1P2 to VDD<\/sub> on IC1 so IC1 can be programmed with only JP1 and itself installed.<\/strike> Done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
